'The WB2000 sits just below the bigger, more complex and more expensive EX1 / TL500 model in Samsung's now extensive range of compacts, sharing many of its bigger brother's features and design cues, while increasing the zoom range and overall speed.'

'The ability to shoot in raw as well as JPEG is welcome, and makes the WB2000 handy for SLR-toting photographers who might not want to lug their full kit around. '

'But the (second) most eye catching feature of the WB2000’s top plate is two “Full and Empty” fuel gauge-type dials set into it; one showing remaining battery power, the other capacity of whichever optional SD or SDHC card has been inserted into the compartment shared with the supplied rechargeable battery at its base. '

'The most irritating part of the camera's design is the loose dial next to the right thumb-rest.'
